Childminder setting based in Warndon Villages near the hospital

Discovered this lovely play village today at Little Daydreams 🥰

Loved today! Going to see the floods and playing poo sticks on the bridge like Stick Man. We also saw a drone being flown and got to see how it was controlled and saw the pictures it was taking 💞

We had such a busy Autumn 🦔🍁

Now let Christmas begin! 🎄✨️

What did they learn? 🌈

You know you love your children
And want them to have fun and play,
But in your thoughts you’re wondering
What they have learnt today?

They said they found a butterfly
And it flew up to the sky,
But they gained a curiosity
And got them asking why?

They said they drew a picture
You saw some scribbles on a page,
But they were developing their muscles
For that later writing stage.

They said they climbed a tricky tree
Though they then got a high five,
But they really learnt to keep going
And continue giving it a try.

They said they played dressing up
And became a dragon big and red,
But they were building imagination
And creativity in their head.

They said they played hide and seek
And it was so much fun to play,
But it taught them many social skills
And they made a friend today.

They said they read a story
And it had a funny rhyme,
But they gained a special love for books
To last ‘til the end of time.

So when you’re worried they’re just playing
And they might fall way behind,
Know they’re busy learning oh so much
In their body, soul and mind. 🧠 ❤️

✂️ Cut the schwa! ✂️ One of the best things you can do to help children learn to read is to encourage them to cut out the /uh/ sound when saying a letter sound. ✂️The technical term for this is a 'schwa' and avoiding it will mean they are using the 'pure sound'. ✂️ Using the pure sound means that it is easier for children to push phonemes together to form a word; /ssss/u/nnnn' is much easier to blend than /suh/u/nuh to make the word 'sun'. ✂️ Encourage children to say the phonemes in front of a mirror. This can really help them articulate the sounds correctly. It's a chance to see what their lips, tongue and teeth are doing as they say the sounds. #phonicsfamily #phonics #teachingphonics #phonemes #lettersandsounds #earlyyears #literacy #homelearning #letters #learningathome #parentsoffacebook#teachers #teachersoffacebook
